Marvel's new animated series, X-Men 97, launched on Disney+ today, picking up where the original X-Men: The Animated Series left off.

The series, supervised by Jake Castorena, aims to balance nostalgia with modern relevancy for today's audience.

While the show updates to HD and maintains a '90s aesthetic, it has faced some criticism for animation and visual inconsistencies.

A notable plot development is Magneto becoming the leader of the X-Men, with the series receiving a positive initial reception.

X-Men '97 introduces Morph as a nonbinary character, showcasing evolving societal attitudes and diversity in media.

The series is currently releasing episodes weekly, with the next episode scheduled for March 27, 2024.
